A motorcyclist was killed when he crashed into a car while driving the wrong way down a one-way street on the Southwest Side on Friday evening, police said.

A witness said the rider, who has not been identified yet by police, was speeding south on South Zarzamora Street when he crashed into a small sedan headed north. The rider was knocked off his bike and run over by the car, said Sgt. Trey Roussel of the San Antonio Police Department.

By the time the Fire Department arrived, the rider was unresponsive, Roussel said, adding, “It doesn't appear he was wearing a helmet. There was substantial head trauma.”
